WayAround

WayAround is an assistive technology company that provides a smart labeling system designed for individuals with vision loss or blindness. The company's platform utilizes Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, known as WayTags, which can be attached to everyday items like clothing, medication, or food. Users interact with these tags via a mobile application to receive detailed, customized information about the objects through text-to-speech or braille. This system aims to enhance independence and safety by providing accessible information in various environments, including home, work, and public spaces. The platform is designed to be highly versatile, allowing users to add as much or as little information as they need to each tag.
